Sugarcane growers and industry stakeholders from across Queensland and beyond have converged on Brisbane earlier this week for Sugar Cubed 2025 – a dynamic, future-focused event set to spark fresh ideas and foster new connections across the cane supply chain.
Hosted by CANEGROWERS at the Royal International Convention Centre, Brisbane Show Grounds from 27-29 April, Sugar Cubed brought together growers, manufacturers, researchers, policy makers and innovators for three days of thought-provoking discussion, knowledge-sharing, and hands-on experiences.
With keynote presentations, panel sessions, and field trips exploring everything from cutting-edge on-farm technology to the big global forces shaping agriculture. The event aimed to shine a light on where the sugar industry can go, and how we can work together to get there.
CANEGROWERS Chairman Owen Menkens said Sugar Cubed is all about people – listening, learning, and working together for a stronger future.
“Our industry is facing some big challenges, but we’ve also got some incredible opportunities in front of us if we’re willing to think differently, work together, and back ourselves,” Mr Menkens said.
“Sugar Cubed is a space where growers, researchers and industry leaders can come together, share ideas, and be inspired. It’s about creating momentum, not just in terms of innovation, but also in how we think, how we connect, and how we plan for the future.”
Special guests include cricket legend Glenn McGrath, Australia’s renowned “Unbreakable Farmer” Warren Davies, and a suite of industry experts including representatives from the global supply chain group Czarnikow.
The event precedes the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (ASSCT) Conference, which follows directly after at the same venue and attendees were encouraged to stay around and learn about the best available science from the brightest research minds in the industry.
